So you want an activity
right on the famous pristine
beaches of the Costa Blanca!
What better way to spend
an afternoon, than cable
skiing at the world famous
site where it all began
back in 1966: The Levante
Beach. With international
championships staged here
regularly, as well as tourists
and locals trying out their
balance and perseverance,
we know that you’ll
love the challenge of this
exciting activity. Especially
when you’re cushioned
by the warm Mediterranean
sea. |

If you’ve ever tried
water skiing, you will
know that it doesn´t
come naturally to most
and that you often spend
more time being dragged
through the water, than
actually skimming across
the sea, waving at the
fans lining the beach impressed
with your double back somersault!
However, cable skiing
although by no means easy,
suits every level from
complete virgin to pro
and gives you the thrill
and the feel of it very
quickly. |

You will be met by your Henorita guide and taken to a small quay. A boat will then whisk you across to the specially constructed platforms and overhead cable circuit and here you will be given guidance and safety instructions, as well as techniques to make the most of your time and effort. |
 |
You begin your journey on a specially designed ramp,
which enables you to take to the water from above rather than being pulled
up from under the surface of the water, this often causes people to lose
their balance before they’ve even started. Then you are off across the water at great speed! Oh the joy! The achievement!….. If unfortunately you don´t
take to the water on your first attempt, swim a little distance to a platform
or out of the ski zone (marked clearly by buoys) where a boat will pick
you up for another go!!! |
 |
A few tips: Don’t try to stand up too soon. You will begin in a squatted position with your arms outstretched, perfect for your launch. Then when you feel completely balanced, straighten your legs a LITTLE. Try not to pull on the cable, as it will actually send you off balance. Allow it to pull you. If you’ve had experience water skiing and you fancy a challenge, there are wakeboards available, but they do advise people to start on ski’s
as wakeboarding is more difficult. |
